I would be also interested. I have a few Malkin KHL cards that would be considered a pre-rookie I guess

Just sent in my first order with CSG and couldn't be more pumped. I did a 51 card bulk order and it was received on 4/14. The order contained a lot of 1990 Hoops junk wax and some Panini Chronicles football and basketball from 2020. Just got marked as shipped today (4/26). I wasn't expecting any gems, but got 10 out of 51, which exceeded my expectations. Unbelievable turnaround time! 

Fingers crossed my bulk order will ship soon. Also received on 4/14

I cut some perforated cards and they were sent back ungraded. I have also sent some that were "pulled" apart and have had some graded/some not. Not sure the process they are using to determine eligibility. 
 

I have had a number of perforated cards come back as "evidence of trimming" or minimum size. I have also had a few grade as AU authentic. Some were precut. Others I tore/cut myself. There was no pattern to what they eventually graded vs sent back raw.

Not stupid questions. I quit collecting about 25 years ago when pack and box prices skyrocketed and if you didnt get an insert card in a pack you lost. It became much more than just set building. And now you have to have a graded 10 or you dont  have anything. Anyway i decided to sort through some of my old cards and maybe get some graded. I find the whole process tedious and tiring. I would rather sell my entire collection and be done with it.

Id buy it from you!

april 9th and turn around times were 60 days at that point not 171 as it is today , and it was 8 a card not 12 like it is now .

If it was marked as received in the system then that is abnormal. If it was marked received to the facility as in delivered by Fedex/USPS then that sounds about right.

my april 9th bulk sub went into G/E/I sept 21st and nothing since and thats horrible cause turn around was around 60 days when i subbed them and CSG only honnors current turn around . Bad look for a new company 

When was it marked received? Bulk is around 6 months. For $12/card I don't know how anyone can be that upset or surprised in this current card climate.

My two bulk were just recently shipped. See dates below

6/21 received and 10/16 shipped.  

6/23 received and 10/19 shipped.

All total about 6 and half months from beginning to end for bulk orders.  Compared to PSA and BGS who both have turnaround times over one year for the lowest tier, CSG turnaround times has been solid.

 

 

 

 

 

Awesome. I have a bulk marked 6/18. Hopefully leaves for me by the end of the week. Still in G/E/I

You are absolutely correct that the value of CSG slabs are well below the grading cost. I just found that out the hard way. Never again

What are you grading and at what tier? Certainly you will have issues if your sending in ultra modern. I have had no issue moving popular GOATS and vintage cards for competitive prices.

the only one getting a bulk order back is the ones submitting thru a service like cads

I send my orders myself. I have sent 5 bulk orders. 1 completed and all marked received. I haven't had a hiccup to this point. Besides the TAT being a bit longer than I would have hoped I haven't had a bad experience yet. 

Idk....this sounds like a shipper issue not a CSG issue. I always buy my own insurance with FedEx.

I just received my first bulk sub back marked received 5/17 shipped 9/3

One oddity I noticed is the use of thick holders for seemingly standard card thickness. Even found them mixed in for cards of the same set/year such as 1984 Topps Football. My walter peyton was in a thick holder while Elway/Marino were in standard slabs. 

Not really upset just odd

They have been working on one for trading cards since rolling out grading services a little over a year ago. I imagine it will be the same system for sports cards. 

I wouldn't hold your breath. Probably another calendar year until we see something. 

There are a significant number of cards that simply do not populate in the search bar. Too many to list out here. The time it takes to manually enter a card makes larger submissions almost impossible. I have a 9-5. I can’t spend my next 3 evenings entering cards. 

Holy mother of god this form is an abomination. Maybe im doing something wrong but for instance.... It cant even populate basic vintage cards. I type "football 1969 topps joe namath" nothing matches. This is so frustrating. I really cant spend 3 days manually entering an order.

Just to clarify, you're saying your bulk submission (the chunk without subgrades) with a received of 2/11 was sent back to you 3 weeks ago?
May I ask how many cards were in that chunk (without subgrades)? Seems like submission size is playing a huge role here.

You are right. Sent one bulk order some with subs/no subs. I has 21 no-subs sent back to me and still waiting on the 30 subs to move through. Pretty annoying my entire order cant keep up with each other. Same invoice, same box, same received date. 

My 2/11 Bulk w/subs moved to Grading/Quality control today. Already received my no-sub portion of the submission 3 weeks ago. 

It would be nice to have an idea of where they are at Bulk-wise. Anyone have bulk submissions that just shipped back? Received date. 

I have bulk rec 2/10. 

Anyone have recent shipped returns from around this time? I feel like I'm in the home stretch its killing me.

My 75 card bulk with sub grades was received 6/9 and is stuck in the scheduled for grading glitch. Hopefully it gets sorted out so I have some form of accurate time frame once they start working on them. 

You probably wont see those until late 2021

I think the population report, when it finally is publicly available, will be very insightful as to how few 9.5's and 10's are out there, especially for vintage. I was super hopeful to get at least one 9.5 grade on my bulk sub that came back this week, but it didn't happen. A good amount of 9's tho, so it is what it is.

What date was the Bulk marked received if you don't mind sharing? 

I also have cards submitted with CGC and it appears many are reporting (and confirmed by forum mods) an error occurred that showed submissions had progressed in status when in reality, they had not. 

Yesterday two of my CSG bulk submissions moved into scheduled for grading. These were received 5/17 and 6/18. While I hope this is true, I don't want them lost in the shuffle due to some computer error. Anyone else seeing similar? 

This blows majorly 

My Bulk (recieved 2/10) Subs/No Subs have entered grading/encapsulation/imaging today
